Three hundred refuse staff will strike on Monday, a union has confirmed.
The GMB said today the week-long walkout will start from 6am on Monday at Upper Hollingdean Road, Brighton.
Talks between the GMB and Brighton and Hove City Council have failed to avert the walkout which will see hundreds of thousands of bin bags left uncollected.
No refuse will be picked up from any of the city's 120,000 households.
The action follows months of unsuccessful talks between the union and the council.
The council wants to make around 800 workers take pay cuts of up to £8,000 each to address equality issues.
